Mekong Delta Tour - Part 2
We took a two day tour which was partly by bus, mostly by boat, including a one night's stay at a nice hotel but no free meals. Tour cost: $15!!!
   

This is probably by far my favorite photo. We saw up to 6 people on one scooter.
We weren't sure if the business with the neon sign was really what it claimed...
Without a truck, you make every effort to fit as much as possible on your cart.
Dinner in Can Tho. Doughnut ate snake. I thought it was a bit "stringy".
Silver Uncle Ho by night.
Taken after Chad almost got his head lopped off by the guy carrying the panel.
Swivel wheels of almost any kind.
 
 
Many boats I saw had doors like these.
Day two, first stop - Cai Rang floating market.
Nice catch!
The boat motors are very strange... and loud.
We took a smaller boat, and then were swarmed by beverage seller boats.
It is not uncommon for people around here to never walk on land.
 
 
 
Second stop, on way to see rice paper/noodle factory.
 
Rice paper out to dry.
 
Spread out to a round, cooked lightly and then slid off onto...
woven trays used for carrying and drying.
Foozeball!
3rd stop, at a rice processing plant.
They were so very happy to see us.
Inside the plant.
Oh boy, an ice cream vendor. Only 4000 Dong!
Yummy...
Goodbye!
 
Last stop - for lunch.
Lunch was at some kind of vacation resort location.
 
 
Last time on the boat.
Back on the bus again - to Saigon.
I saw two vehicle collisions during our stay. Didn't see police at either scene.
When we got back, Chad decided to knock heads with Huyen at Hotel Madame Cuc 127
 
Good thing they wore helmets.
